Emily VanCamp, Joshua Bowman and Madeleine Stowe were all on a segment of Good Morning America today. I didn't realize that Joshua (Daniel) was a Brit. When he started talking I was really surprised to hear a robust British accent. Ms VanCamp was quite hot and Madeleine Stowe looked much better than I expected. I figured the typical ABC grainy, soft focus effect they use on the show was hiding something but she actually looked much younger and better without it. Sounds like they will be morphing the focus of some characters a bit next season...

I really enjoy this show and glad it is back but not up against the Good Wife but I guess that is what the DVR is for

DVRs do a lot of great stuff. I have been using 2 tuner DVRs since 2003 and recently got a 4 tuner TiVo with 2TB of disc storage just so I could record EVERYTHING. Even when I watch something in real time, as I usually do Game of Thrones, I record some of it first so that I can be guaranteed not having to watch the promos for other presentations, which usually precede it.

Sammy was also the oldest Labrador Retriever in the history of the world. Normal life span for a lab is 10 - 14 years. He was what 17?

I was thinking the same thing. A great many Labs develop hip dysplasia and have to be put down long before they reach 10-14, much less 17. What the hell, though, it was a moving episode anyway and provided a convenient hook to allow Emily and Jack to hookup. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

To add to the Sammy discussion, as soon as I saw him lying there and Jack put the water bowl by his head I was reaching for the tissues because I knew he would be dying by the end of the episode.

I can watch people die on TV and in movies all the time and unless there is a strong connection to them, it doesn't bother me. As soon as an animal dies though, I am a mess. When Emily found him lying on the porch and then when Jack came over and was talking to him, the waterworks started flowing.

Yep, the loss of Sammy was tough and so delicately played. I've been there (as many of us probably have) and that is so difficult, it made it impossible to watch and not be moved by it. And just as I was recovering from the wrenching scene of Sammy on the floor, they had to show him as a puppy with Emily and Jack!

I doubt that Nolan is dead, just down for the count and to be cross-examined by the white haired guy for information. (By the way, isn't that guy the ex-boss of Jack Bauer from 24?) A fun guilty pleasure that I'm glad will be back and hope they can continue to keep interesting. Though I was surprised they counter-programmed it against The Good Wife, with both on Sunday night next season. Good trash vs. excellent drama = DVR workout, especially with all the HBO/Showtime Sunday shows. I want to see both shows survive, but The Good Wife is IMO the best drama on network TV, though it doesn't seem to have the audience I would hope for. Maybe we can get FX to move Justified to that time slot and have a real battle!!

Very good season ender. Some shows have gotten good at providing satisfying endings that take cancellation into account, while leaving great openings for renewal. This was like that for me. It's probably much easier for the writers to deal with in a show like this vs. the sci-fi types that just seem to stop in place. Looking forward to the ongoing saga, so "let it play".

I thought the finale was good as well. Even though the TV news announcer said that it was thought that all the passengers aboard the jet had died, I suspect at least one will somehow survive . Based on how things have escalated "up the chain" and "things go deeper than you can imagine" with the coverup etc, I wonder if that may mean an increased role for Takeda next season?

They showed Victoria starting up the steps to enter the jet, but no true evidence that she actually remained. I could easily see her having turned around at the last moment, having re-considered what her testimony would do. Especially after she saw Lydia board ahead of her. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Yes, that could be a distinct possibility. It did seem like they had her kind of hesitate for a moment at the bottom before starting up onto the steps like she was thinking about something anyway...
